Late Pasturing. Some farmers keep their ecat- tle out as late as possiblein the fall, and even into the winter. The pastures are gnawed very close, and even the aftermath of mowing fields, as if they never expected to get another erop of grass from them. This is very bad husbandry upon any land, and especially upon that recent- ly seeded with herds-grass. This grass, as is well known to all careful observers, has a bul- bous root, and the fine roots that shoot out from the bottom are not as strong as the roots of most other grasses. It is, therefore, exceedingly liable to be torn out by the roots by gra- zing cattle, especially if the grass is short. In close crop- ped meadow, where this grass has been sown, nothing is more common than to see thousands of thesedried bulbs lying upon the surface. We economy of grazing a herds. grass meadow ab any time. But if done at all, it should not be cropped after the first of No- vember, in that laitude, The roots of the grasses arc desiened to be covered with their own leaves and stalks du- ring the winter. These, and the snow, protect them from the alternate freezings and tnawings, and bring them out in good condition in the spring. The farmer who undertakes to thwart the designs of nature in this respect, will find it a very expensive business. The little that he saves in feed now, he loses next season in the dimin- ished yield of the pasture or the meadow, We »ught always to manage so as to have nature working with us, instead of against ug, This is one of the evils of overstocking farms. The farmer is afraid that he has not quite fodder enough for win- ter, so he pastures till the ground is frozen. He cuts less hay for the next season, and he is still more sorely tempted to pasture. It is quite as bad for the cat- tle as it 1s for the land. If they have no fodder in the month of November, they lose rather than gain upon pasture, unless it is much betler than the aver- age.

Smver—Irs PrEMIUM AND SeAR- criy.—Inasmuch as gold is the bulk of the specie exported, it is a puzeling question to many merchants included, why silver should be scarce, and why it should command nearly so great a premium as gold. In brief, the three following are the chief rea- sons why silver is no longer in general currency, and commands its present premium : 1st. It is wanted for Canada trade. In the Canada market silver is as good as gold, and in pay for the large amount of Can- ada produce which we receive, lof course the specie which can | be obtained at the lowest prem- ium is preferred, whenever it is necessary to pay in spec- ie. 2d. For the reason it is lower than gold, silver is preferrcd for «hoarning.” ; There are many persons, par- ticularly these who have retired from busiress, who have a cash depreciation in paper currency into specie and prefer silverasitis | lower than gold. 3:4. The difference in the for- eign markets between gold and silver is but five per e¢ nt.—A greater diflerence than this in the | market value of silver would cause it to be taken for export in thie place of gold. i The difference on the premium | in gold and silver is about! five per eent.—U.
